Elizabeth Leaves Hunsford

Elizabeth's visit to Hunsford comes to an end. She says goodbye to Charlotte and Mr. Collins, who is as pompous as ever. She travels to London to spend a few days with the Gardiners before returning to Longbourn. She is eager to see Jane and to share her news, but she is also burdened by the secret of Darcy's letter and her own changed feelings. The journey marks a transition from the closed world of Hunsford back to the familiar setting of Longbourn.
